The Halograph Automatic is a living time machine. You are the power source. The new limited edition Halograph Automatic features "halo" hands that display the time in an entirely new way. The Halograph is super easy to read, as the Halo Hands float over the four, dimensional, hemicycle time display arcs, they encircling the numbers for the time. The inner arcs display the hours, the outer arcs displays the minutes. It doesn't need batteries or updates to do its work while summoning compliments and sparking conversation everywhere you go. All it needs is you! The Halograph Automatic lives on mechanical energy. It's not an electronic gadget: it's a mechanical heirloom. Like the chambers of a beating mechanical heart, the twin balance wheels pump life into this complex time machine. Seeing the action of a living machine on your wrist gives a thrill no electronic gadget can. A smartwatch starts to die as soon as its circuitry is activated, and its functional obsolescence starts as soon as it leaves the assembly line. A mechanical watch will never be obsolete. It will always connect you in a meaningful way with this moment in time. With the Halograph Automatic, we think we've designed a v1.0 that 'nailed it' the first time, and will be as exceptional in form and function in hundreds of years as it is now. No Batteries Needed! The Halograph Automatic is powered by your daily life, storing up to 36 hours of energy from the movement of your wrist or by winding the crown. A beating mechanical heart pumps life through this complex machine. You can view the rotor generating the power supply for its mechanical movement through a crystal porthole on the back of the case. Unique Time Display The new limited edition Halograph Automatic features "halo" hands that display the time in an entirely new way. It is super easy to read! As the halo hands float over the four dimensional hemicycle time display arcs, they encircle the current time. The inner arcs display the hours, the outer arcs displays the minutes. Limited Edition! Each limited edition Halograph Automatic will be individually engraved with a number from 001 to 999. This is a singular opportunity to be one of the few people in the world to own a Xeric Halograph Automatic watch. Sapphire-Coated Domed K1 Mineral The high dome, hardened K1 crystal has a sapphire coating to prevent scratching. Sapphire is one of the most highly scratch-resistant materials on earth. Unique Colored Exhibition Window The Halograph Automatic caseback features custom-colored, movement-viewing window so you can see the rotor spin around while it generates power.

Got it for a steal ... Great watch for that price
Almost bought this at Watches.com (US $499) but glad that it was available here at a much lower price. At first, I was concerned it would be a knock-off but received the watch yesterday, looks great (the pictures here don't do it justice). It's very unique for sure.Coming from smart watchs over the past few years, this was noticeably heavier and thicker but I see getting used to it quickly. Love the dome crystal feature (although deep down, I worry that it would be more prone to scratches). Anyway, the leather strap is good quality leather but I do see myself getting a mesh strap at some point (straps are interchangeable).Telling time itself does take a few attempts to get used to but it's not too bad. The mechanism window is nice and not too distracting like some of their other styles. Relatively quiet. You'll sometimes feel the rotor moving inside the watch based on your hand motions but that's ok.I do wish that the watch would luminous in the dark.
